At sunset, night fell, Li Mu came as scheduled, riding in a carriage, and Lu Qingqing together, Meng Changsheng glanced at Li Mu and Lu Qingqing more, and found that the two were inseparable almost all the time, and there was no affection between each other, and they couldn't help but secretly guess that these two people should be a couple.

However, Meng Changsheng himself is not a gossip person, although he guessed in his heart, but he didn't ask much, greeted the two with a smile and sat in the carriage, the carriage is relatively spacious, there are long seats on the left and right, and there are two windows, white curtains, and you can see the outside scenery through the windows when you open the curtains.

When he first came to Hangzhou, Meng Changsheng was also a little curious about Hangzhou, and after a brief conversation with Li Mu and Lu Qingqing, he opened the curtain next to him and looked outside, the carriage moved slowly in the middle of the main road, and the scenes outside the window were also reflected in Meng Changsheng's sight one by one.

At this time and even at night, but compared with the city of Hangzhou during the day, the night is more prosperous and lively, the streets and alleys are hung with bright lanterns, the night is like day, the street is more people coming and going, all kinds of frolicking and noisy, playing monkeys, singing, dancing, lion and dragon dances, performing acrobatics, all the way to see the past abounds, so lively.

In the night sky in the distance, from time to time a cluster of red, or purple, or yellow fireworks rise high in the air and explode, but also the night sky of Hangzhou is embellished with brilliant colors, the carriage slowly moves forward, passing by the Weishui River, in the distance across the Weishui River on the huge arch bridge of more than 100 meters long on both sides of the Weishui, it is the gathering of literati and students, all dressed up in long shirts and folding fans, as if holding a grand literary meeting, you call me to drink, extremely warm.

On the other side of the river, there are countless women gathered, and they all seem to be non-dusty women, all dressed up but not vulgar, full of a kind of beautiful temperament, all looking at the literati on the arch bridge who chanted poems against each other, sometimes hearing good poems, good words or seeing a certain student handsome and so on can cause a lot of commotion and even screams.

Seeing this, the literati and students gathered on the bridge were more like being beaten with chicken blood, which made Meng Changsheng sigh in his heart, sure enough, it is always women who can stimulate men the most, that is, he has some impulses to try when he looks at the woman on the other side of the river in the distance in the carriage.

For men, the pursuit of a lifetime is nothing more than summed up in these three points, it is good to say that it is vanity, but in this world, who is not good at vanity, the difference is only whether you are tempted or not.

After crossing the arched bridge, seeing that Meng Changsheng retracted his gaze, Li Mu looked at Meng Changsheng and said with a smile: "Brother Meng is also interested in these poems... You see my memory, I'm about to forget, Brother Meng will soon be a student of Hangzhou Academy" After speaking, he thought of another layer of Meng Changsheng's identity, and couldn't help patting his forehead.

He really forgot this identity of Meng Changsheng, but this is not to blame him, it is really that Meng Changsheng's identity as a monk is too prominent now, and his identity as a student is too low for a monk like Li Mu, and it is normal to be easily ignored and forgotten.

Meng Changsheng didn't mind much, he smiled noncommittally, for the poetry club, he said that he was interested, after all, he could pretend to be forced, if he didn't pretend to be forced in life, what was the point of living, but there was not so much interest in it.

Li Mu saw that Meng Changsheng was like this, but he thought that Meng Changsheng acquiesced, so he said: "If Brother Meng really likes this poetry and literature meeting, there will be an autumn literary meeting after a while, and it is the largest literary event in Jiangnan today. ”

The Autumn Literature Club is held once a year, led by Hangzhou Academy, Yangzhou Academy, Suzhou Academy, and Langya Academy, and invites the major colleges in the south of the Yangtze River to participate.

Although Qiuwen will play the slogan of communicating with each other in the major colleges, when this is just a superficial word, just like those sports competitions in the previous life, what is said about friendship first, competition second, in fact, this is just polite words, really on the field, who will remember this sentence, will only do their best to win, and people will only remember the winner.

The same is true of the Autumn Literature Society, on the bright surface, the major colleges are playing the slogan of exchange, but in fact, it is also a kind of competition between the major colleges, which college wants to dominate the other colleges in the Autumn Literature Meeting, so as to become famous, after all, the Autumn Literature Club is known as the first literary event in the south of the Yangtze River, and it attracts a lot of attention when it is held.

Especially in the current situation of the Wu Dynasty is relatively stable and vigorously promotes the imperial examination, reading books are generally valued, such as the Qiuwen Society, which is known as the first literary event in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to avoid people's attention, and the degree of attention held every year is almost no less than that of the imperial examination.

From this, it can be imagined how much attention the Qiuwen Society has received in Jiangnan, naturally, there is more attention, and the major colleges naturally do not want to lag behind others in the literary meeting, especially the four major academies, which are known as the four major academies, if the other academies below catch up, it will be even more embarrassing to lose face.

Of course, this situation is still very difficult, each poetry meeting will finally select the four most prominent people, and finally these four people will compete again to determine the first place, the first place belongs to which college, then which college will naturally get the greatest reputation, and will also be the host of the next autumn literature meeting.

Li Mu also told Meng Changsheng that the first place in the last Autumn Literature Conference was won by Hangzhou College, so this Autumn Literature Meeting must also be held in Hangzhou by Hangzhou Academy as the host.

"The four people who come out of the final line of each autumn literary meeting will be called the four great talents of Jiangnan by the outside world, and the first place is called the first talent of Jiangnan, hehe, how about it, does Brother Meng have the confidence to take off the title of one of the four great talents of Jiangnan or the name of the first talent of Jiangnan when the time comes. ”

After speaking, Li Mu looked at Meng Changsheng a little, of course, this is mostly a joke, although he knows that Meng Changsheng has a talent and fame, and he is about to enter Hangzhou Academy, but he doesn't think that Meng Changsheng will really be able to shine at the Autumn Literature Conference and even win the title of the first talent in Jiangnan.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, although Meng Changsheng is now a monk, and it may be difficult for anyone to practice among his peers, but practice and literary talent can not be linked, and the Autumn Literature Club is known as the first literary event in Jiangnan, which is jointly held by major academies, and to some extent it is almost a literary competition between the top students in Jiangnan.

"Brother Li laughed, there are so many talented people in the world this day, how dare I say that I am the leader. ”

After listening to Li Mu's introduction to the Autumn Literature Society, Meng Changsheng naturally instantly understood the fierceness of the Autumn Literature Society, and said modestly, this is not a small scene like the last time the Zhao family held in Chen County, but the literary talents and talents of the entire major academies in Jiangnan gathered to compete, even if he was a human being in two lives, and there were many famous poems in his mind from his previous life, he didn't dare to say that he was really capable of overpowering everyone.

"Brother Meng is too modest" Li Mu answered, but seeing that Meng Changsheng's expression was calm and modest, he did not look arrogant at all, but in his heart, he looked at Meng Changsheng even more.

Generally speaking, it is inevitable that a young man will be frivolous, especially when Meng Changsheng is so young and less than thirty years old, he has become a monk in the realm of refining qi, which is even rarer, and there are very few people throughout the ancient and modern times, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been proud of the heavens, that is, when he broke through to become a monk in his fifties, he was proud of the spring breeze, and he was arrogant for a long time, and there was a feeling of looking down on all beings.

Looking at the dream immortal life in front of him, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart that it was strange that people had achieved such an achievement at a young age, thinking of the situation when he became a monk in the first place, he was arrogant and arrogant, and then looked at the dream immortal life in front of him, he was not arrogant or impatient, it was this state of mind, he asked himself how ashamed he was.

Lu Qingqing next to him didn't speak, but his eyes have been paying attention to Meng Changsheng intentionally or unintentionally, seeing Meng Changsheng's attitude, he couldn't help but glance at Meng Changsheng a few times in his heart, don't look at her and Li Mu Both look very young and about the same as Meng Changsheng, in fact, both of them are already in their sixties, but because of the extension of life after becoming a monk, the youth is permanent.

The carriage walked through the main road of Hangzhou, made a few turns, and spent nearly an hour, and finally stopped at the Weishui River outside the city, where it was quiet, except for a painting boat with red lanterns floating quietly on the water.
